DR. QUARLES SAYS ••

he iIIumateCJ magazine, Golden

Legacy, certainly lives up to its name,

telling us things of the storied past that

are well worth knowing . Each volume

catches the spirit of the times and the

personality of the participants. As one

past seems to come alive, particularly those aspects

it which up to now have generally escaped our attention.

In publishing this series the Fitzgerald Publishing Company is helping

develop a richer understanding and appreciation of the American

and it is helping to promote better relations between individ­

and groups. The Fitzgerald Publi shing Company is to be highly com­

!n.cled for this contribution to our popular culture, for this evidence of a

hCllrn for the common good.
